In California there is just ONE county which uses an Open Source System to count votes. Could that be why Bernie had 71% of the 2-party vote in Humboldt County? It was his highest vote share in ALL 58 counties! The system is a deterrent to fraud.

The Humboldt Open Source (TEVS) tabulation system was pioneered in 2006 by Mitch Trachtenberg, a computer programmer, together with Carolyn Crnich, registrar of Humboldt County and Kevin Collins, election integrity activist. The election showed significant problems in the Diebold system they were using in counting votes.

As result of these problems, Diebold abruptly severed its business relationship with Humboldt. Carolyn then switched to another voting company, Hart InterCivic, but kept the TEVS system functioning.

TEVS is the ONLY OPEN SOURCE, TRANSPARENT SYSTEM FOR COUNTING VOTES IN THE UNITED STATES It is being used as a recounting system to double-check the vote-counting of the Hart InterCivic system which has been performing well, unlike the Diebold system which was used previously.

At the time she introduced TEVS, Carolyn purchased a high speed scanner that could operate independently of any voting machine to tabulate the votes using TEVS.

Hi Mr. Charnin, Have you seen the video posted on youtube today of the election observers in San Diego? They aren’t allowed to be in the same room they’re counting votes in – but can observe from a window. With a zoom lense, they recorded the processing of just one station (the closest to the window and the only one they were able to record). It appeared as though several of the ballots had the “fill in bubble” next to Bernie’s name completely whited out – and no other selection was made. I’ll try to post the link to the video here – but I’d also like your comments on this, if possible. Personally, I’m furious. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTPmZsCXHng

The Humboldt system is NOT a vetted nor regulated open source voting system but merely a ” knock off ” audit system set up to sit on the back of a proprietary counting system. It is a foolish and childish attempt by Lori Grace and her billionaire friends to co-opt the work of the open source voting community.– please refrain from drawing conclusions. Obviously Bernie runs strong in Humboldt– but that has nothing to do with this flawed– pretend open source – system

In the 2016 presidential election, Jill Stein’s 6.1% Humboldt share was her highest in the state – just like it was for Bernie. Clinton’s 56% share in Humboldt ranked #20 of 58 California counties.

Stein’s average in the 19 counties was 2.3%. Clinton averaged 68.0%. So how come Stein did 4% better in Humboldt than she did in the other 19 liberal counties? And Clinton did 12% worse?

Did Jill Stein actually have an approximate 6% True vote in liberal CA? Did she have 4% nationally? Who believes she had just 1%? Just asking.

Could it be that fraud was prevented in Humboldt? Were nearly 2/3 of Stein’s votes blue-shifted to Clinton? Was Clinton’s 61% CA share inflated by at least 4%? Note that 4% of 14 million CA votes is 560,000. That’s a 1.2 million difference in vote margin. She won the national recorded vote by 2.8 million.
